Oh, sorry. The other light (Kindled) has an internal controller. Everything is built into the light and happens from my phone. I can choose preset lighting programs or put together my own if I need something different.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks!

The humidity came up much faster than I'm used to but we've been blessed with a decent amount of rain here lately.

The lower temp/humidity is outside the tent, upper readings are inside the tent. They've been stable for 36 hours within a 3 degree Celsius range @ 62 - 65% rh.... on the higher end at night. I'll take it! I had to re-balance the air pressure inside the tent pretty regularly as the humidity went up, the resistance in the filters increases with a higher room humidity. Its all dialed in again now.

Say what you will but I put on some nature sounds for her in there. A safer option than moving a houseplant in given we're in pest season. 18 hours non repeating daytime forest sounds followed by 6 hours of night time forest sounds. lol We are simulating an environment after all... why not cover sound too? For all the effort it took.

If I close my eyes in the tent I can imagine I'm outside on a warm breezy summer day. Good for the farmer at least.

 

[Dr.B]

18 hours under the more forgiving seedling intensity, for the first time in her life her leaves are still up just before lights out. Two small but risky doses of silicate/cannazym in the last two days seem to have done more good than harm too.

I'm going to ease her back into a feeding schedule while I dial up the lights in the next week or two. Growth has resumed, cloning should be happening within a week.

Getting on track again...

 

[Dr.B]

I sent the child out this morning to trap lady bugs for me. I put a price on their heads at 25¢ each. I do this twice a year to maintain the ladybug population in my tent... This is a re-population... My winter lady bugs proved to be quite adventurous...

 

[Dr.B]

She responded so well to the lower light I decided to keep the pressure on her. I kicked the intensity back up to about 60% today.

LST has begun, this plant is now a clone factory!

 

[Dr.B]

Ok, I'm going to stop f$&@ing with her for a week lol. I might remove the top node on the main stem if the lower arms aren't responsive enough to LST, should redistribute the Auxin better. I'm not manifolding or crushing arms, she is pretty woody, I would need pliers lol. Training this late can be risky and problematic from what I'm reading... I'm just going to keep her flat and encourage her to spread out

She was drooping hard again an hour before lights out, I'm putting her back on the easier light program for the week too.... Woosy plant lol... I'll give her the week to get it together... I can't wait to take my clones and hopefully move on to a few more hardy versions of this plant...

New carbon filter arrived! I want to be ready for the death of my current one... Some questionable folks just started renting next door... I'm glad its here!

Just watering for the next week. I'll update this thread once something interesting happens lol.

 

[Dr.B]

There! (Sidenote) Two new light programs to cushion the factory programs!

Acclimating at 55% light intensity for the last few days.... Second seedling lighting program.

This one is growing well again so I continued the torture session this morning once the plant woke up. 8 of the 10 arms were grown out enough to try my hand at FIM'ing, I'll do the remaining bottom 2 arms once they have grown clear of the branches above... They may still be removed outright...

I plan to let the arms that come from my FIM'ing () come straight up in sort of a crown. I can use the trellis to achieve the spacing I need. Hopefully the exposed sites along the lateral sections of the arms decide to fill out this crown. () Once I have what I want for shape and arms, to go to flower... I will take my clones from the lowest spots on the periphery. I can then clone from the clones while this plant is flowering and start to get a couple of babies to... what is starting to feel like... everyone I f@$&#ng know lol ... could take a while...

I'll take care of them all a bit at a time so it all stays nice and legal. All my clones that end up living elsewhere are adopted out, not sold. I'm happy to share the wealth, if you're going to make an effort with my girls. I will not knowingly send them off to die. (That being said, don't ask me for clones please, lol its against site rules I'm pretty sure, friends and family only)

My next crop takes immediate precedence.

***I did end up topping her down to the next node on Tuesday, that seemed to snap her out of her perpetually stunned state... Finally!

It always amazes me how much time goes into mothering and cloning a new (to me) strain. Going into this a couple of years ago I never would have guessed.The needs of the plants differ in such slight ways every time. It also amazes me at what a big impact the tiny differences have on the plants. And just how difficult it can be at times to nail down the cause of the problem(s)... It's very engaging!

I think I enjoy learning and experimenting with these girls as much as I enjoy the fruits of my labor. There's always something new to tackle. Best hobby ever!! Its slow going now but things are about to pick up. Another week or two in veg, I'll slowly bring up her nutrients and light intensity.

Last week I was flushing with enzyme and silicate, (risky, I know, given her state of semi shock at the time) E.C. @ 0.7 pH 6.5

Today I went back to the 3 part nutrients with a matching dose of Calmag. All said 12ml per gallon @ 1.3 E.C. pH 6.5... I'm hoping this is it, I don't want to have to dial anything back again.

I'll creep up the lighting intensity day by day this week, once I hit 75% I'll increase the feed ratios slightly. If it goes well I'll have clones very shortly, and! what should be one monster of a trial plant to flower over the following 6 - 8 weeks.

Power outages.

Haven't been much of an issue for me but just now we got a wicked storm. Tripped out my light 3.5 hours after lights on, no less than 3 times. Causing it to reboot with the lights off for a few minutes each time. I was present of mind enough to go check and panicked when I unzipped a dark tent to find the light booting up...

I hung every flashlight and camping lamp I own over the plant during the first interruption... I think I'm good, I'm not flowering, a little too much dark in flower wouldn't be harmful anyway.

Its my understanding that two red receptors in the plant are responsible for triggering flower. During daylight one recharges the other, keeping the plant vegetative. When one receptor doesn't receive enough red in a 24 hour period it basically can't effectively recharge the other... Causing the plant to flower...

Am I correct? Lol

I think I'm ok...

That can be the case indeed but the 3.5 hr into a cycle and it happen a few times can't be sure mate ,I'll lean towards them being ok .od

All good its up to the plant vrs grower now .

So far, that's where 99% of my problems happen. I learn so much every time I play around. I just can't help myself sometimes. Just inquisitive I guess. I was warned up and down not to use silicates... For example.. A lot of reading and some careful trial and error... The *error, (again only in reference to silicates, I make a shit tonne of mistakes lol) part hasn't happened yet lol. Silicates are a great addition at the right stages in the right doses.

I fully admit I'm my own worst enemy in the grow room haha. Me and gnats occasionally...

My understanding from reading Ed Rosenthal is that it's more like a trigger and the plant measures darkness and time. So a chemical gets transformed by a wavelength that only hits at dusk and then changes back with a far red that only comes at dawn. Experiments show it only takes a few seconds of light to reset the timer. So I think it can only measure the night, not the day.

So it should be fine?

I have my LED at 75% I found 100% was to intense and the VDP was up shit creek .

Its a balance. I'll be at 75% intensity by mid week hopefully. Struggling (always) with VPD at 1.0 barely... This strain is very sensitive in this sense... Cheese went right in at 100% from the little tent. Took a day to get over it....

What did you end up with? Blurples like me lol?
